10. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

The temperature and baking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the recipes and the quality and quantity of the ingredients used.

10.1 Double oven

Top oven

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It has 4 shelf positions. Use it to cook smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results when used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flants or quiche.

Main oven

The main oven is the bigger of the two ovens. It is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food.

10.2 Baking

- Your oven can bake or roast differently to the appliance you had

before. Adapt your usual settings (temperature, cooking times) and shelf positions to the values in the tables.

• The manufacturer recommends that you use the lower temperature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the one that is almost the same.
• You can extend baking times by 10 – 15 minutes if you bake cakes on more than one shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally at first. If this occurs, do not change the temperature setting. The differences equalize during the baking procedure.
• With longer baking times, you can deactivate the oven approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time and then use the residual heat. When you cook frozen food, the trays in the oven can twist during baking. When the trays become cold again, the distortions are gone.

10.7 Roasting

• Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast (refer to the instructions of the manufacturer).
• You can roast large roasting joints directly in the deep pan (if present) or on the wire shelf above the deep pan.
• Roast lean meats in the roasting tin with the lid. This keeps the meat more succulent.
• All types of meat that can be browned or have crackling can be roasted in the roasting tin without the lid.

• We recommend that you cook meat and fish weighing 1 kg and above in the appliance.

• To prevent the meat juices or fat from burning onto the pan, put some liquid into the deep pan.

• If necessary, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).
• Baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during roasting. This gives better roasting results.
• You can deactivate the appliance approximately 10 minutes before the end of the roasting time, and use the residual heat.

11. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

11.1 Notes on cleaning

• Clean the front of the appliance with a soft cloth with warm water and a cleaning agent.
• To clean metal surfaces, use a usual cleaning agent.
• Clean the appliance interior after each use. Fat accumulation or other food remains may result in a fire. The risk is higher for the grill pan.
• Clean stubborn dirt with a special oven cleaner.
• Clean all accessories after each use and let them dry. Use a soft cloth with warm water and a cleaning agent.
• If you have nonstick accessories, do not clean them using aggressive agents, sharp-edged objects or a

dishwasher. It can cause damage to the nonstick coating.

11.2 Stainless steel or aluminium appliances

Clean the oven door with a wet sponge only. Dry it with a soft cloth.

Do not use steel wool, acids or abrasive materials as they can damage the oven surface. Clean the oven control panel with the same precautions.

11.3 Removing the shelf supports

To clean the oven, remove the shelf supports.

1. Pull the front of the shelf support away from the side wall.

1. Pull the rear end of the shelf support away from the side wall and remove it.

Install the shelf supports in the opposite sequence.

The retaining pins on the telescopic runners must point to the front.

11.4 Catalytic cleaning

CAUTION!

Do not clean the catalytic surface with oven sprays, abrasive cleaning agents, soap or other cleaning agents. This will damage the catalytic surface.

Spots or discolouration of the catalytic surface have no effect on catalytic properties.

WARNING!

Keep children away when you clean the oven at a high temperature. The oven surface becomes very hot and there is a risk of burns.

CAUTION!

Always turn the oven light on while using the catalytic cleaning (if applicable).

Before activating the catalytic cleaning remove all the accessories from the oven.

The walls with a catalytic coating are self-cleaning. They absorb fat which collects on the walls while the appliance operates.

To support the self-cleaning procedure, heat the empty oven on a regular basis.

1. Clean the oven floor with warm water and washing up liquid, then dry it.
2. Set the CATA function. Oven will switch off after one hour.
3. When the appliance is cool, clean it with a soft and moist sponge.

11.5 Removing and installing the door

You can remove the door and the internal glass panels to clean it. The number of glass panels is different for different models.

WARNING!

Be careful when you remove the door from the appliance. The door is heavy.

1. Open the door fully.
2. Fully lift up the clamping levers (A) on the two door hinges.

1. Close the door until it is at an angle of approximately 45° .

1. Hold the door with one hand on each side and pull it away from the appliance at an upwards angle.

2. Put the door with the outer side down on a soft cloth on a stable surface. This is to prevent scratches.

3. Hold the door trim (B) on the top edge of the door at the two sides and push inwards to release the clip seal.

CAUTION!

Rough handling of the glass, especially around the edges of the front panel, can cause the glass to break.

1. Pull the door trim to the front to remove it.

2. Hold the door glass panels on their top edge one by one and pull them up out of the guide.

1. Clean the glass panel with water and soap. Dry the glass panel carefully. When the cleaning is completed, install the glass panels and the door. Do the above steps in the opposite sequence. Install the smaller panel first, then the larger.

11.6 Replacing the lamp

Put a cloth on the bottom of the interior of the appliance. It prevents damage to the lamp glass cover and the cavity.

WARNING!

Danger of electrocution! Disconnect the fuse before you replace the lamp. The lamp and the lamp glass cover can be hot.

1. Deactivate the appliance.

2. Remove the fuses from the fuse box or deactivate the circuit breaker.

The back lamp

The lamp glass cover is at the back of the cavity.

1. Turn the lamp glass cover counterclockwise to remove it.

2. Clean the glass cover.

3. Replace the oven lamp with a suitable 300° C heat-resistant oven lamp. Use the same oven lamp type.

4. Install the glass cover.

The side lamp

1. Remove the left shelf support to get access to the lamp.

2. Use a narrow, blunt object (e.g. a teaspoon) to remove the glass cover.

1. Clean the glass cover.
2. Replace the lamp with a suitable 300 °C heat-resistant lamp.
3. Install the glass cover.
4. Install the left shelf support.

13.2 Energy saving

The appliance contains features which help you save energy during everyday cooking.

- General hints

• Make sure that the oven door is closed properly when the appliance operates and keep it closed as much as possible during the cooking.
• Use metal dishes to improve the energy saving.
• When possible, put the food inside the oven without heating it up.
• When the cooking duration is longer than 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to

minimum, 3 - 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, depending on the duration of the cooking. The residual heat inside the oven will continue to cook.

- Use the residual heat to warm up other foods.

- Cooking with fan - when possible, use the cooking functions with fan to save energy.

- Residual heat

– In some oven functions if a programme with time selection (Duration, End) is activated and the cooking time is longer than 30 minutes, the heating elements deactivate automatically 10% earlier. The fan and lamp continue to operate.

- Keep food warm - if you want to use the residual heat to keep the meal warm, choose the lowest possible temperature setting. The display shows the residual heat temperature.
